The Endurance World Championship updated its entry list for the 2025 season this Thursday, January 16.. The main information is based on the now complete crew of the Porsche 963 n°99 of Proton Competition. Only Neel Jani, already present in 2024, had already been confirmed.

The 41-year-old Swiss will be supported by two novices in the Hypercar category: Nico Pino and Nicolás Varrone. The 20-year-old Chilean knows Neel Jani well since they finished on the podium of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2023 in the LM P2 category with the French team Duqueine. The two men will be associated for the first time this year during the 24 Hours of Daytona where they will already represent Proton Competition. The Florida classic will be the first race in LMDh for the native of Santiago (Chile).

Aged 24, Varrone will make his debut in the premier category ofEndurance during the 1812 km of Qatar, the opening round of the WEC, February 28. The Argentinian has climbed the ranks of Endurance in recent seasons and has already experienced the joy of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice.

In 2023, the driver from Buenos Aires won the Sarthe classic in the GTE Am category at the wheel of a Corvette C8.R that he shared with Ben Keating and Nicky Catsburg. In 2024, it was in LM P2 Pro-Am that he won alongside Ben Barnicoat and François Perrodo with the AF Corse team.
